Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, pure honey, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Add in a large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract. Whisk until the egg is fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with crinkled parchment paper.
  6. Once chilled, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are caramelized but the centers remain soft.
  8. Remove from the oven, tap the baking sheet on the counter, and sprinkle flaky sea salt on each cookie.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
